Are You In The 3%?


I’m going to get really serious on you. Let me ask you something - are you in the 3%? Check out this statistic: 97% of you will FAIL. 97 PERCENT, holy smokes!!!  Yes that means that every time you set a goal for yourself, including fitness and weight loss, you are going to fail. That’s a large group of you. And only 3% of you will SUCCEED. Seriously, this is a fact. If you don’t believe me, Google it yourself. 

Ok ok I know, you don’t want to face the facts. But what kind of trainer would I be if I didn’t get YO face!

The Harvard Business School told us that the majority of this world’s population, 97% to be exact, just watches life pass them by.
We passed New Year’s Resolution time, you set goals – you set goals for your relationships, your careers, your love lives, your finances, and of course your fitness!!! Are noticing you are kinda falling of the tracks? I can guarantee a lot of us have already given up.

Here’s what happens - You sign up with your trainer at a gym, or hire me, or you diet and what happens you FAIL like a week later. And then what happens, I have to hear about how miserable you are!

“Why can’t I lose weight?” “It’s no use”, “Whatever I don’t have time”, “I can’t afford it”…BLAH BLAH BLAHHHHH.  OMG if I hear one more time about how you think fitness is expensive, I’m going to have to give ya a whoopin’. What’s expensive are your future medical bills, prescription medications, your weekly your therapy visits because of the depression you have. This is real life! This isn’t a joke!

SO what separates the top 3 from the rest? Well it sure as hell isn’t just about goal setting and taking small action steps, even though it’s a good start. But there are distinguishing SUCCESS factors that the top 3 exhibit. They are:
Drive, hard work, patience, resilience, organization, focus, ambition, accountability & a CAN DO attitude (of course here is where you have to smile).

You see, I really can’t stand 97% –the one who gives me all these excuses!! Nothing ever comes easy, but nothing is impossible. So get what you freakin’ want already! Do me a favor, do NOT be the 97%. I want you to be the top 3!! You deserve to be your own success story. You deserve to love your body, and you deserve to love your life.

What are you afraid of? Are you afraid of posting “non pretty sweaty pictures of yourself”, are you afraid that people will hold you accountable to your goals, are you one of this people that give up so you avoid the challenge together, are you one those people that are weak?  Fear is debilitating.

Here is your homework. In the comments I want you to write this statement: “ I AM IN THE TOP 3%” .  Go ahead, write it - “ I AM IN THE TOP 3%” . And after you write it, I want you to read it aloud 3-4 times. And then I want you to believe it!
I’m so serious about this and so passionate! Please do this homework! Be the success! I’m here for you! I know I just kinda yelled at ya but if I didn’t care this much I wouldn’t be saying this. I love you all and want you to succeed.
Can I get a WHOOP WHOOP??
